Golf Shoe Care

Proper care and attention is required to maintain and prolong the look,
performance, feel and comfort of golf shoes. Faced with a wide range of
hazards, both leather and synthetic golf shoes must be thoroughly cleaned and
properly stored between rounds in order to prolong the look and life of the
shoes.

We recommend rotating shoes between rounds - properly maintained the
rotation of two pairs of shoes will last much longer than twice the life of
a single pair.

Use a shoe horn when putting on your golf shoes to protect the heel
counter of the shoe.

Check your cleats between rounds to ensure they are intact and secured
properly into their respective receptacles, but DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN your
cleats.

Do not store your golf shoes in your car trunk, where high temperatures
can break down shoe materials resulting in decreased lifespan of your
shoes.

We strongly recommend leaving Cedar shoe trees in your golfing shoes at all times when shoes are not in use.

Cleaning Guidelines

Pre-Round Shoe Care

Use a shoe horn when putting on your golf shoes. This will protect the heel
counter of the shoe. Damage to the heel counter can cause improper fit in the
heel which can lead to blistering and overall discomfort.

Post-Round Shoe Cleaning & Care

Clean leather or synthetic golfing shoes after each round by removing dirt and residue using a shoe cleaner or mild soap and water. Allow to air dry at room temperature.

White Shoes: To clean shoes with a white base leather, apply white shoe
cleaner to remove unwanted scuff marks. This will also condition the
leather.

Dark Shoes: To clean shoes with a dark base leather use a combination of
a shoe cleaner and an applicable color shoe creme to maintain the look
and conditioning of the full grain or calfskin leather.

Wet Shoes: If your shoes become soaked during a round,

Clean them quickly.

Place crumpled newspaper inside for 8-10 hours to soak up all excess
water.

Remove newspaper and replace with FootJoy Cedar Shoe Trees. Cedar shoe
trees will bring the uppers back to normal shape, smooth the linings and
absorb any remaining water and odor. The absorption properties of cedar
make them far more effective than plastic shoe trees.

General Tips:

Remove the laces when cleaning.

If not glued into the shoe, remove the inner sole when cleaning your golf shoes.

Do not place your shoes in direct sunlight to dry, but rather allow
them to air-dry in a shaded area or indoors.

NEVER dry your shoes using a blow-dryer or by putting them on any
external heat source. Excessive heat can damage both the uppers and the
outsoles.

Outsole Care

All non-leather outsoles should be wiped clean of dirt and residue after
every round.

Check to ensure that all cleats are intact and secured properly into
their respective receptacles.DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE CLEATS.

Do not store your golf shoes in your car trunk, where high temperatures
can break down shoe materials resulting in decreased lifespan of your
shoes.
